Born in Ecuador, much of Solanda’s upbringing was rooted in what is known in today’s society as “diet culture”. While she endured her own body image issues growing up, moving to the U.S. to pursue a degree in public health served as a catalyst in inspiring Solanda’s passion for nutrition. Moreover, as a devoted parent to four young young girls, Solanda understands the anxieties around the feeding power struggle and how it is equally important to both provide a variety of foods and to empower children to choose what they want to eat. It is her life’s work to continue bringing ideas to the table that will ensure her kids-and every kid out there-will be able to foster healthy relationships with food throughout their entire lives.
A humbling childhood and witnessing his parents’ unsuccessful business ventures spurred Joseph’s desire to excel from a young age. His choice to study mechanical engineering in college is ultimately what led Joseph to meet his life partner, Solanda, and the two of them together embarked on an even greater journey: parenthood. A dedicated and nurturing father, Joseph sought to find a solution that could meet their family’s snacktime needs-and resolve the feeding anxieties and challenges they experienced. Combining his innovativeness with Solanda’s suggestions, Joseph transformed the parenting hurdles they encountered into a viable product that could facilitate more positive (and fun!) feeding experiences for both parents and kids.
The initial 10-slot design transformed into the 5-compartment GoBe Snack Spinner you know and love today. All of our products undergo extensive WOW-factor testing (which includes customer feedback!) to ensure the best product goes to market. We strive to offer products that promote developing healthy relationships with food and encourage kids to embrace both creativity and an endless imagination-and we’re delighted you chose us to be a part of your family.
GoBe Kids is passionate about helping parents and kiddos under five thrive through four core pillars: eat, play, connect, and rest.
Food fuels our bodies and it fuels everything we do at GoBe Kids. Ensuring equitable access to a variety of nutrient-dense food for all parents and kiddos lends a direct hand in fostering and developing healthy relationships with food and our bodies.
Movement is both a fun and essential part of everyday life. It allows for endless exploration, discovery, and limitless opportunities to enjoy the beautiful world we share.
Like play, rest is vital to our overall mental health and well being. Prioritizing rest and sleep for you and your kiddos is critical to being the best versions of ourselves.
Fostering a sense of community is not limited to forming relationships and sharing stories—it’s also about supporting one another’s differences and discovering new ways to contribute to the greater good.
GoBe Kids is here not just to make feeding time easier for you and your littles, but also to build a community of parents who can enrich each other’s lives. That’s why we’ve dedicated our time to putting together resources to offer advice, inspiration, and fun ideas so you can spend more time with your family.
